Property description

This handsome, substantial brick-built detached barn conversion is brimming with character features amongst the extensive accommodation which includes five generous bedrooms each having en suite facilities, six elegantly presented reception rooms, farmhouse kitchen, utility and boot room – all displayed over two floors. Set in some 1.2 acres of totally secluded, established gardens and grounds with views towards Great Hill and Winter Hill, the property is approached via gated access to the expansive parking area and the ranch-style triple carport to the rear.

The main entrance is via a tall barn door arch with inset solid oak door and decoratively stained and leaded glass panels surrounding and extending to the galleried landing. Offering a true sense of arrival, the door opens to the impressive stone flagged hallway with vaulted ceiling, two King Truss beams, feature exposed brick walls and two stone sill windows to the front and two to the rear. Central to the hall, a grand, butterfly-style oak spindle staircase rises to the first-floor landing with further stairs to each wing. Just off, a cloakroom with fitted triple wardrobes for visitor’s coats and boots and a door to the wash room with two-piece Vernon Tutbury suite.

Firstly, the generously spacious principal lounge with two windows to the rear with stone window seats, recessed down-lighting and seven wall lighting points for evening ambience. Oak flooring adds elegance although the focal point of the room is an ingle fireplace with an exposed oak beam over and a stone hearth. There is a television point alongside, two radiators provide additional warmth when necessary and doors from here open to the games room and the study.

The study has two windows with stone sills overlooking the frontage, recessed down-lighting and two wall lighting points. The room is fitted with an extensive range of fitted furniture to include twin desks, filing drawers and glazed display cabinets and a radiator warms the room.

The games room has decoratively leaded panelled arched windows to the front, recessed down-lights, three wall lighting points and two radiators. To create that stress-free atmosphere, an oak bar with inset sink unit, beer pumps, integrated fridge freezer and a cocktail cabinet have been fitted to one corner of the room, blending well with the oak flooring. Double doors give way to a wine/beer keg store with doors also to the driveway. There is a wall mounted television point to the other end of the room and ample space for a snooker table.

A door opens to the gymnasium incorporating a utility area and having two opaque windows to the rear, recessed down-lighting, a radiator and a wall-mounted television point. Recently refitted, the room has porcelain tiled flooring and, to one end, a pine-built sauna with seat, a shower room warmed by a ladder-style heated towel rail and fitted with a Vernon Tutbury suite comprising pedestal wash basin, w.c.

The very spacious, dual aspect breakfast kitchen has two windows to the front and two to the side and an exit door to the rear porch with tiled floor. Recessed down-lighting showcases the excellent range of grey painted cabinets which surround and have granite work-surfaces over and strategically placed splash tiling. A graphite coloured one and a half bowl sink unit with Quooker tap is set beneath one of the windows and also inset is a four-ring Samsung ceramic hob with a Bosch eye-level double oven/grill with microwave above situated close by. During the autumn and winter months, of course, the latter plays second fiddle to the triple-oven Rayburn range cooker with twin burners and canopy set extractor fan above. There is a brick-built niche offering housing for a larder-style fridge freezer and having a terracotta chimney wine rack above which combines perfectly with the Italian ceramic tiled flooring.

The rear porch gives way to the utility/boot room, cloakroom and door to the rear garden and the tiled flooring continues into both rooms also.

The utility room, with a side window, is fitted with a range of oak cabinets with an integrated freezer, a further one and a half bowl sink unit with mixer tap, is plumbed for a washing machine, has space for a tumble dryer and an ideal storage area for muddy boots and dogs.

The split-level galleried landing with oak spindle balustrade is lit by the natural light filtering through the stained-glass window along with having six wall lighting points, and is warmed by a radiator.

The right wing has steps leading up to the master suite which, firstly, reveals the dressing room and walk-in wardrobe both amply fitted with oak cabinets, drawer banks and hanging rails. The en suite has matching cabinetry incorporating two white inset wash hand basins having mirrors and over, a corner spa bath, dual head shower cubicle and a low flush w.c., and there are two ladder-style heated rails to warm the towels. The expansive, triple aspect bedroom, with King Truss Beam extending across, enjoys far reaching rural aspects, has four wall lighting points to the boudoir space with television point and a further five wall lighting points to the bedroom area.
